What's in it for you

Channels allow you to organize your content and distribute it to the relevant users or user groups in Showpad. Once you’ve created a Channel and set up a folder structure, your next step is to add content from your Content Library to your Channel.

There are two ways to add content to a Channel:

Automatically using Smart Folders

Manually by dragging assets from the library to the appropriate folder

Adding content automatically

You can automatically add uploaded content to special folders called Smart Folders.

Create one or more Smart Folders in your Channel(s)

Configure these Smart Folders to pull in content with specific properties and tags automatically

When uploading new assets, add the tags defined in the relevant Smart Folders

To manually add content from your library to a Channel or any of its folders, proceed as described below.

In the top menu click Content.

If your organization uses Divisions, click the relevant Division.

Click the Open Channel Builder button.

Open the Channel list and click the Channel you want to add content to.

Click the appropriate folders to navigate to the folder you want to add content to.

Drag and drop the related assets from the library into the folder. To add multiple assets in one go, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard while clicking the assets you want to add. Release the Shift key and drag and drop the assets into the Channel.
